Decrease of Feminine Clerks,

surely, they are being got rid of under
the civil service system. They are now
seen walking arm-in- arm through the
treasury corridors or standing at the
windows at noon time with their cups
OF tea. 1t is not that they are closer TO
their desks. They are not there. Since
Secretary Manning first took the treas
ury portfolio and the new order of
things was begun nearly 20 per cent. Of
the women have gone, and none have
come in their places. When Il female
clerks dies or gets married, resigns or
is dismissed, requisition goes to the
civIl'Servicc cOmmiSon for a man to fill
the vacancy. L was asking WHY this
was-if it was true that women did not
make as good clerks as men. The re-
ply was that some made better than
did the men. The trouble did not lie
in that. The fact is, they are hard to
deal with. Most of them depend upon
the gallantry OF the superior officers,
and are constantly asking favOrs, many
OF them not hesitating or seeming to
think ii improper to ask high officials
even as high as secrctarics-- to make
false statements or violate the law in
their interests. The most trouble Is in
eNaming them for promotion. Some
have not hesitated To ask beforehand

What's i'm A Names

Whether names are good or bad, ap.
propriate OF the opposite, it would seem
that when they once become AT all cur
rent or familiar, there is no such thin -
as shaking them off. We suppose Thai
the name Canada thistle" will be
used to the eEI OF time, IN this country,
although il is we'll known that this spe-
cies OF CrSium is not indigenous to
canada, but to Europe. where It has
been known for centuries under the
common name of Cursed Thistle, !"
which is really an appropriate name.
Jerusalem Artichoke is another in
appropriate and m ;sleading name given
To a North American plant introduced
into English gardens about three hun
dred ears ago from Canada aud under
the name of Canada Potato This Spc-
cies of HetianthRS is neither an ar,i-
choke nor a native of Jerusalem still
these misleading names will probably
cling TO it for centuries to come.
The mis-Damed Irish Potato is another
valuable native plant. which may now
be found growing wild on thousands of
acres IL New Mexico and Arizona, and
although introduced into Great Britain
under the name of Virginia Potato"
The more modern one of Irish Potato,
given TO it in derision. appears TO have
become the most popular. We have a
common American bird generally
called a Robin, but it does not belong
to the same genus as the true Robin of
Europe But this is not half so bad as
tc be obliged TO honor the Turks by
calling noble member of the feather

some consolation in knowing that the

A London financial journal Just re.

prospector, by Jefferson McClelland
on March "a last. Every one who has
any acquaintance among the pioneers
of the Pacific slope will remember
these two men. For q quarter OF
century they figured in the history Of
those momentous times out in Cali.
fornia, and "Cld c. X especially, as
Hobbs was Familiarity known, played
somewhat prominent part in many
OF the big deals. McClelland was con-
sidered the best mining expert on the
Comstock lode. The news of his kill
ing Hobbs recalls a circumstance
that makes a. romance OF the event.
More than ten years ago McClelland
mad a dispute with Hobbs over a
stock speculation, which resulted in an
understanding that the quickest man
with his pistol would be the only sur
vivor if they should ever meet. Both
men were livingin San Francisco then,
but Hobbs drifted East and settled
down in this city. From here lie went
to London a couple OF years ago, and
was employed last winter to look into
some mining property in the Trans
vaal country tor a London syndicate.
How Jeff" McCleiland came to 90
there too is not known but one OF
his friends here says that he went to
Australia few years ago, and he
probably drifted thence to South
Africa. The two men thus went
around the world in opposite direc-
tions, and, ten years after their quar-.
rel, met rs suparintendents OF adioin.

The immediate result was the death
OF Hobbs. McClelland fired he only
shot, and it went right through his
opponents heart.
